Who am I kidding? You pick out one crew or the opposite this week. So what else is there to speak approximately?
Let me just skip on a few thoughts.
First, concerning Patrick Reed: Despite how damning the video appears, I think people are missing one very important point in this discussion... and that's the fact that the video exists at all. Why do I think that's a big deal?
Simply, Patrick had been in or near the lead all day and KNEW there was a camera following him. Look at that video again -- there isn't anything between the camera and Patrick to keep him from seeing it. The real question isn't whether Patrick was trying to cheat or not. The real question is whether Patrick is stupid enough to try and cheat when he KNOWS he's on camera. Do you really think a player THAT stupid can play as well -- and win as much -- as Patrick has?
My money is on a mind fart, plain and simple. People may think Patrick is impervious to strain however, given that his lead was slipping away and the sector turned into gambling so properly, I ought to see his palms losing a number of their sensitivity. Add a bit little bit of mental fog and I can see him completely zoning out over the shot.
So regardless of what anyone says, I think Captain America is human and simply blacked out for a few moments. The alternative clearly makes no feel to me at all.
On the International Team's chances: I know the history, I know the rankings, I know the likelihood of repeating the past. Frankly, I think the US Team will win once again.
But I assume the International Team is being extraordinarily underestimated. Their rookies are gambling nicely and -- yes, I suppose that is a bonus -- Jason Day is not playing. I believe it's an advantage only because I do not assume the modern state of Jason's game can deal with the pressure of getting the crew on his again. (Back issues have been hurting his recreation all season.) The newbies and regular help players HAVE to step up and I agree with they'll, definitely because there is nobody aside from Adam Scott with a big report... And no person expects Adam to win it all by means of himself. Without Jason there, I count on new leaders will emerge.
As I said, the novices are playing well. They do not have the jet lag of the USA Team however they DO have some serious credentials on excursions around the sector. I think Ernie's team is primed to area a few breakout stars this time round.
And the Internationals have received in Australia earlier than. I assume that contains extra weight than they may be getting credit for. They realize they are able to do it there due to the fact they HAVE achieved it there.
So at the same time as I think the USA will win, I may not be surprised if the Internationals manage an disenchanted.
Finally, about Tiger: How many times will Tiger try to play? I don't think there's any mystery at all.
I overlook which news convention it become, but inside the closing week Tiger particularly stated he was "answerable for factors" at this event. Of route he's -- all crew individuals are required to play once before the singles and then within the singles. I suppose that is all Tiger plans to play unless he is needed for a 3rd healthy... Or he simply unearths he is on a warm streak.
But I do not think he is willing to danger a singles loss just to play multiple pairs suit. He wants a win, and risking a lower back hassle makes no experience in any respect.
So that's my "Twofer Tuesday" for this week. Just one takeaway: Don't sleep on those International rookies; I think they're going to surprise some viewers.
